Socceroos at Home: Tilio & Leckie launch City to big win (Socceroos)

Melbourne City continued their stay atop of the A-League Men's ladder as both Marco Tilio and Mathew Leckie combined to down Wellington Phoenix in a big win ...

Again, after making the Phoenix defence pay only six minutes prior to opening his account in the match, the youngster was found by a brilliant ball from Curtis Good which allowed him todink across Oli Sail for City's sixth of the afternoon in Cronulla. Shortly after the second half had kicked off, Leckie had gotten his name onto the scoresheet as Florin Berenguer found the 31-year-old City winger, who only had to guide the ball into the back of the net from point-blank range to double City's lead after 54 minutes of action. After being on the pitch for a matter of minutes, the recently-capped Socceroos winger Tilio found his first of the afternoon when the 21-year-old brought the ball down in the Phoenix box and was allowed space to twist and turn to place his shot brilliantly into the far corner for Melbourne City's fifth goal.
